Podspun turns the work creators already publish into websites they own

Podspun (by Heroic, LLC) today announced its biggest release since launch: a platform that builds websites for podcasters, social creators, and artists from the work they already publish. A creator connects their existing channels: a podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or RSS, an Instagram or TikTok account, or all of them at once. Podspun takes those feeds and creates a dynamic, automated website on the creator’s own domain, with a page, transcript, and summary for every episode and post, that they can then build on like any other site. When something new is published, the site adds it.

The release lands on a problem most creators now face: search engines and AI answer engines read text, and a show that lives as audio and video inside apps gives them nothing to read. Podspun transcribes everything a creator publishes and builds each page with the structured data that Google ranks and that engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity quote and cite, an approach that has made Podspun a two-time Webby honoree. The platform has indexed more than 23,000 episodes and posts to date.

The engine underneath, the Podspun Dataweaver, indexes every spoken word across those feeds. Audiences can search a show for anything that was said and land on the exact second it happened. An AI assistant answers their questions from the creator’s own transcripts and cites the timestamp each answer came from.

The same index feeds a set of production tools. A clip generator cuts captioned, branded clips from any line in a transcript, as video, audiogram, or audio, without a separate editing tool. A thumbnail maker studies the channel’s best-performing episodes and proposes titles and thumbnail images in its existing style. Every episode also gets automatically generated summaries, quote cards, chapter-style key moments, and badges that flag the standouts, along with an analytics readout covering tone, content mix, language, and pacing.

Social content gets the same treatment. Posts, reels, and videos become pages of their own, transcribed and indexed alongside the show, and audiences can browse them by topic and search inside the spoken words rather than scrolling a grid. A generated portrait page keeps an up-to-date picture of the creator, drawn from recurring subjects, people, and moments across everything they have published, with each finding linked to its source.

For artists, the same system works from an archive of works instead of a feed: pieces, collections, and viewing rooms become a catalog site with the records an art practice runs on, from availability and provenance to certificates and invoices.

The platform covers the business side as well. Creators can send newsletters from their own domain (replacing the need for services like Mailchimp or Constant Contact), put posts behind a free or paid membership, sell merchandise and digital products, and take one-time or recurring donations. Payments settle directly in the creator’s Stripe account.

Podspun showed the new release at VidCon Anaheim this summer.

“Podspun begins like a Squarespace, Wix or WordPress type site, but with modern automated goodies for creators,” said Matthew Dunnerstick, Podspun’s founder. “Most website builders hand you an empty shell. You paste in every episode and post by hand, and you still end up with no transcripts, no search, no clips. Podspun opens already full.”

“We built Podspun because creators already have the content, they just don’t have a place where it all works together,” Dunnerstick added. “Every insight, every story, every moment of brilliance should be findable when it’s needed most. Podspun takes the channels you already publish and turns them into a living, searchable website you actually own, one that grows every time you post.”
